KENYA. Rhinoceros. 1980 

Jean Gaumy 

The Rhinoceros is becoming an endangered species, hundreds are being slaughtered by poachers in Kenya for their precious horns which on the Chinese markets of Singapore can fetch $7 an ounce, once ground into an aphrodisiac powder.The black African rhino has now dwindled from 20.000 to 1000 between 1970 and 1980, local poachers can get $1000 for a pair of horns (which sell for $5000 a pound in Hong Kong).The modern poachers hunt with high powered rifles, which has become an organised murder of animals.The Kenyan government have an Anti Poaching HQ in Kenya, equipped with a small army, and helicopters, but still the animals continue to get killed.
